Abstract
Mortality rates in developing countries have shown a rapidly
declining trend since the end of World War II. Countries like
Malaysia, Taiwan, Mauritius, Jamaica, and Mexico have increased life
expectancy at birth at an average of over a year annually between the
1940's and 1960's (Gwatkin, 1980:616). There appeared to be special
causes; probably due to control of endemic disease. Many developing
countries have recorded life expectancy gains three or more times as
great as those achieved in Western Europe at a comparable stage in its
mortality transition (Gwatkin, 1980:616).
